Keys were handed over today to the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre, with well-known local chef and business leader Jane McGoldrick taking over as general manager
The keys to Harvest Algoma have been handed over to the Sault Ste. Marie Innovation Centre, which will convert the food security charity into a self-sustaining social enterprise over the next three years.
The warehouse floor had been mostly empty for months as large food deliveries from southern Ontario were put on hold because of Harvest Algoma’s uncertain future. On Thursday, there were skids of fresh produce from the first of what is sure to be many deliveries to the Food Resource Centre. Along with DSSAB CEO Mike Nadeau, Shoemaker took on the role of cheerleader in bringing all those partners to the table after the initial plan for SSMIC to take over operation of Harvest Algoma fell through.
Harvest Algoma will now be operated under SSMIC’s Rural Agri-Innovation Network division, which was founded almost exactly 10 years ago. “Over the next few months we are going to be meeting a lot of people and forming that advisory,” said Thompson. “As we develop, what we want to do is have a better system so we can properly track the amount of food that comes thorough here so we can get better at streamlining our process or maybe looking at different ways to do the logistics and delivery.”
For her part, McGoldrick said she is looking forward to the challenges that will come with the day-to-day management of Harvest Algoma.
